This is an outstanding property in a quiet, picturesque part of Stoke-on-Trent (the village of Barlaston). Morgan at Reception on Tuesday afternoon 15/7/25 was fantastic… very helpful, very pleasant! Dinner was very nice…and the wait staff pleasant and efficient! Our room was well appointed and beds very comfortable, with a nice ensuite and shower. This property exceeded our expectations! We highly recommend this property! John & Suzanne Teague, Lake Macquarie, NSW, Australia.

Quiet rural location in a converted country house. There are a variety of room choices, all include breakfast. The restaurant has some great choices for breakfast. Dinner menu is also good. There’s a cosy little bar in the hotel and other pub and dining options are a short drive away. I have stayed here around 10 times and it is my go-to choice in the area.

good but not excellent

excellent service from the staff and cleanliness. Food was very good. The downside is the size of the ensuite, a bit on the small side.

An excellent property in the beautiful countryside with gorgeous gardens obviously looked after by enthusiastic gardeners. 🌳🌹🪻🪷 The decor is fitting to this country mansion and the whole house is very clean, and my bedroom was exceptionally clean and well stocked with soap, shampoo etc. and my bed very comfortable giving me a good night’s sleep 💤 The food offers a wide range for everyone’s taste and the quality is far better than many city 5 star hotels I’ve stayed in! The staff are all professional, courteous, polite and helpful and I would like to compliment Jack (a young restaurant waiter), who made me feel very welcomed and was very helpful ensuring I received a good breakfast (as I have medical issues). This young man is an asset to this lovely hotel and as a retired Regional HR Manager I see lots of potential in him to rise up - so GM watch out!! 😅 Many thanks to everyone from housekeeping to GM for making my brief visit keen to return for longer. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely rural country house hotel

It was our second stay here and it was great. Typical independant country house style hotel in that it has lovely authentic decor and styling, great service, plenty of free parking, nice countryside views, and breakfast included.

Lovely location but paper walls

Lovely location. Service is very good and friendly. Unfortunately the rooms are small and walls are thin - we heard conversations olin next rooms up until 3a.m plus. Pose of adjacent showers and toilets. Not a place fora restful sleep.
